Sandton notes on felling & removal
On a Bryanston or Hurlingham stand being split into clusters, several large pines and gums may need to come down before the first foundation is dug. Some can be felled whole across an open lawn; others stand beside a neighbour's house and need rigging. Ask whether stumps will be ground or dug out, because new foundations along Bryanston Drive often need the root plate gone.
Trees in Sandton
Sandton's older suburbs were laid out on big stands with big trees: Bryanston, Hurlingham, Sandhurst and Morningside still have oaks, pines, bluegums and plane trees planted on what were once one acre plots. Many of those stands are now being subdivided into clusters and townhouses, so developers and new owners ask for trees to be removed before building starts. Elsewhere, homeowners want heavy limbs lifted off roofs, tennis courts and pools. The Braamfontein Spruit and the Sandspruit carry willows and poplars that fall in summer storms. Highveld lightning and hail are part of every summer here. Check with the municipality before touching pavement trees, and check whether any tree on a stand is protected.
